Best Tea App for Serious Tea Drinkers

5

By Happy User 99999999

I’ve been using this app for years so before I updated my iOS devices to iOS 11 I had to resurrect my old old iPod Touch 4 to devote to this app. Now that the app has been updated I can use it on a device with a functional battery. Also, the encyclopedia is once again accessible.
It has all the features that a serious tea drinker need. I can set up each variety of each tea I own e.g. an individual entry for each oolong. Then I can record the tea qty relative to the pot size and the app adjusts the qty for each pot i own. It remembers the time and temperature for each tea and then times each steep with the built in timer. I can adjust the brewing parameters for the next session which is helpful with new teas.
Sometimes the features are hard to find, like adjusting the quantity of tea when you change the pot size, but they’re there and worth looking for.

Love it!

It allows me to read up on the different types of teas at the Asian grocery store. I have found so many teas I like because of this app.
I am so happy it has been updated. It works great now. THANK YOU!!!

Crashes every time I add notes

I purchased this as a tea journal. The interface is decent, but it crashes immediately after I type any character. I've reproduced this behavior many times without exception.

WAS An excellent app before they decided to remove the tea encyclopedia. Worked for me great in a trip to Japan , but now without the feature its kind of useless

Very disappointed

No Encyclopedia included which is the reason I paid for it. Just a glorified tea timer. Don't waste your money.

Please fix!

Basically useless

This app is basically useless. It doesn't contain the tea encyclopedia that it says it does. I haven't been one that his drank a lot of exotic teas in the past and thought that this app would help me by giving me a background on the tea, the amount of tea I needed to use, the temperature that I needed to hear the water to, how long I needed to steep it, and how many times I could reuse the tea leaves, but it does none of that. You basically have to look it all up and enter all of the information in there. Like I said, it's basically useless!!
